ABSTRACT
This can mean that there is one kind of wine ordered by all the patrons, e.g. Merlot; on this reading the wh-pbrase has scope over the quantified NP. But there is also a reading according to which each patron ordered a possibly different wine from the other patrons, e.g. Smith Merlot, Jones Pinot Grigio, etc: this is the reading where the quantified phrase seems to have scope over the wh-phrase. This type of reading was in fact noticed by May (1977) and led May (1985) to propose a different analysis, according to which at LF wh-phrases and quantifiers with sentential scope have the same scope domain, therefore sanctioning both readings. But, as I pointed out in chapter V, note 14, this account is incompatible with my analysis of the wh-phrase quantificational asymmetry. The question then is, how can I account for the apparent wide scope of the quantified NP in (146)? I think the answer may be found in the treatment of similar cases by Engdahl (1985) and G&S (1984, ch.III).
